Re: Once Upon A Branchline: 4.7

A^B 729 pulling into Lumsden past the loco depot. [flic.kr]

Lumsden was a junction terminus of the Secondary Mainlines, the Waimea Plains line from Gore and the 48 mile long line from Invercargill. Both those lines spawned branchlines as well. Just to the North was the junction of the Mossburn Branch so like Durango, Lumsden had four radiating lines.



And here is A^B 729 crossing another A^B at Lumsden, Chris Bradley photos [flic.kr]



And another view of the "Kingston Flyer" headed for Kingston running through Mararoa Jct.
